the u.s. had spied on cuba, which was an ally of the soviet union, and had found that the soviets had put soviet missile sites there. in 1962, president kennedy informed the nation of his plan to create a blockade of u.s. ships around cuba to present more supplies for the missile sights from entering that country. the soviet leader, nikita khrushchev was none too happy about this and was not willing to give in to president kennedy's demands to end the missile program in cuba. so in 1962, the world waited to see what would happen. this was remembered as the cuban missile crisis for a reason -- it was a real crisis. we were on the brink of a nuclear war between two not just nuclear-armed countries, but two heavily nuclear-armed countries. the stakes could not have been higher. the adversaries could not have been more opposed. how was this going to end? luckily it did end. both leaders realized that enough was enough. high stakes apocalyptic danger at cross purposes, it was not funny. it was dram
